NASA Images - Embed Galleries of Images & Videos

The Internet Archive has created a comprehensive collection of images, videos, and audio recordings from NASA. The collection is divided into five parts; Aeronautics, Astronauts, Earth, Solar System, and Universe. Select any of the five categories to reveal a menu of sub-collections. The space flight timeline found at the bottom of NASA Images reveals collections of images, videos, and audio recordings aligned to each NASA flight into space beginning in 1958.

Most of the collections found on NASA Images can be embedded as a widget into your blog or website. Below I've embedded items from the Earth gallery.


Thanks to Open Culture for their post about NASA Images.

Applications for Education
Although you will want to double check before using them, most of the content in the NASA Images collections are in the public domain. The timeline of space flight could be a good way for students to explore the history of NASA's missions into space.
